Ask Me Help Desk - 9 week puppy sick won't eat

Ok Miss Lala, you're not telling us new information. A lot of people know that many pets are homeless and are in shelters, but that doesn't mean that those pets are going to be better off in a home where the family does not value their lives and health.

I don't understand why you are so upset. Have you ever had a puppy with parvo? Seen a puppy with parvo? If you did, than you would understand that there are no miracle medicines that you can purchase at the grocery store or walmart that is going to cure that pup. Even the herbal natural medicines that are said to help cure parvo cost $50.. that's still a lot of money for some people.

What would you suggest someone to do with a sick pet? Would you just pat them on the back and say, "at least it wasn't put to sleep in a shelter". Not only bad, but very poor advise.

If you have no knowledge of a situation, than you have no right to give advise. And that is not judging you, that's just pure fact.

You sound very young as well... maybe you need to experience life more before you come back to this site.

I read the whole thread and frankly you make me sick. Yes it is great that people adopt animals. Yes animals are being put to sleep daily in shelters. Yes animals get sick and cost money.
Some facts for you from my personal experience.
1. If you can not afford vet check ups and emergencies maybe your time would be better spent fostering the animals so there are more room in shelters.
2. If you can't afford a vet how will you get the pet spayed or neutered to prevent more animals from being put to sleep? Interesting you now become part of the problem
3. Most people will move heaven and earth for their pet. Even having to consider rehoming if they can not afford the surgery the dog may need. (I had to consider that for Owen thankfully the complete rest for 6 weeks worked and no surgery).
4. Have you listened to the people who work the front lines about what a dog goes through with no treatment for Parvo. How in the hell is that humane? To me that is animal abuse beyond belief. How can anyone let their pet suffer and not take it to the vet or to a shelter.
5. How dare you come on here and disrespect the experts like you have? Thankfully they care more about the animals than your stupid feelings. That is a true animal lover and yes I have gotten lectures from them before when I did not listen to the advice. I took it though as I had the brains to understand they cared about my dog and what was right for him.

To the experts there are true animal lovers that appreciate you all and are thankful for you. Please remember us and ignore the people who just come here to complain because you did not tell them it was all right to allow their dog to suffer.
Ps this whole post is directed to that Miss Lala or whatever her name is.

All of you High on the horse judgmental folks need a LIFE !!!( I am talking about a well at the time pup)

Which well at the time pup are you talking about? Did you read this thread, the one you posted on, the one you came down on all of us for. The OP (original poster) said the pup had parvo. This was not a well pup at the time. It was very ill.

I know about the shelters, why are you posting about shelters? The puppy on this thread was given to the lady from a friend. It wasn't a rescue, any more than it was well.

We have the nerve to judge you? Seriously? You came here, and for your very first post on this site, you judged us! But when we come back to defend ourselves, to tell you why we posted what we did, you come back time and time again to berate what we posted. Lady, if you don't want people judging you, then don't judge them.

I suspect this is not "La la's" first post. I suspect it's her first post under this name.
Seems odd that out of all the posts which are similar this one is targeted.

Once again someone who is judging "us" right from the beginning complains about "judgments" made by long-term, experienced and educated members.

I happen to disagree that it is better for a dog to die a slow, painful death due to the owner's lack of funds but great love for the dog than have the dog euthanized. I do note that "La la" is experienced enough on boards to use trigger words such as "killed" rather than non-trigger words such as "euthanized."

Want to bet that Lala and the OP are one and the same?

I wanted to make that bet the minute Lala posted.
